@@ -22,10 +22,12 @@ When releasing a new version:
 
 ### Breaking changes:
 
+- The `Config` fields `Schema` and `Operations` are now both of type `StringList`.  This does not affect configuration via `genqlient.yaml`, only via the Go API.
+
 ### New features:
 
 - genqlient now generates getter methods for all fields, even those which do not implement a genqlient-generated interface; this can be useful for callers who wish to define their own interface and have several unrelated genqlient types which have the same fields implement it.
-- genqlient config now accepts either a single or multiple schema files for the `schema` field.
+- genqlient config now accepts either a single or multiple files for the `schema` and `operations` fields (previously it accepted only one `schema`, and required a list of `operations` files).
 - The `typename` option can now be used on basic types (string, int, etc) as well as structs; this can be useful to have genqlient define new types like `type Language string` and use that type for specified fields.
